No doubt Sprint has struggled and will continue to struggle. WiMax was the wrong bet. Sprint has racked up debt, recently cut back unlimited data plans for air cards/hotspots, and will do the same for mobile phones. On top of that, their current broadband network stinks and LTE roll-out will be very slow. I wouldn't sign up with Sprint any time soon.

Just wondering if anyone knows where I can but this phone online and receive the US version (Model RM-819) that supports 850MHz for Telstra Next-G ?
[Nokia Lumia 800] anseio:
I'm also currently hunting down an RM-819.

Don't be fooled by sellers who claim the device is quad-band 3G.

May have to wait for CES next week. I know that AT&T is getting the 900 in March, but does that mean we have to wait that long for the RM-819 Lumia 800 as well? I sure hope not.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1jaxstate1:
I'm looking at the G-Note as my next phone. I already know Android, but I need to know is the Note good at taking extensive notes, not just "Look at this" notes. I'm not talking about writing term papers on it, but a few paragraphs. Also, is there Google Docs integration. That would be awesome.

thanks in advanced.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ade5:
Personally i wouldnt take more than a few sentences of notes if i needed too.. But everyone is different..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericshmerick:
It's a large screen phone, not a tablet PC.

YMMV. If you can type fast on a software keyboard, go for it. Or maybe a bluetooth keyboard and mouse typing directly into Google Docs would work for you? I wouldn't rely on the S-Pen for fast lecture notes though...but it's possible with practice.

You may be better suited for a Galaxy Nexus and, say, a Wacom Tablet PC (like my Lenovo X220 tablet with one note) for extensive note taking.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jade Eyed Wolf:
+1 on the X220 for extensive handwritten note taking.

That said, you can still pair up a full sized bluetooth keyboard (like the MS Mobile Keyboard 6000) just fine and use a dedicated bit of office software, like QuickOffice Pro. You can probably make annotations with your s-pen afterwards if need be. Might be a bit clunky in practice, but it's an idea at least.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1jaxstate1:
Thanks for the info. The notes I will be taking will b at my own speed. I work in networking and I do a lot of network diagrams and take notes on test results. So I wouldn't be trying to write a mile a minute. I'll look into you're suggestions.

I think the Gnote would be perfect for something like that..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HasC:
I am using the note for note taking, at first when I used it, I used the software that Samsung has incorporated into the note for that purpose, although the conversion of my handwriting to text was ok, I found myself having to correct words fairly often. On this basis I would have still recommended it for your purposes with my comments highlighted.

I also own an Asus transformer tablet, I did use this for note taking but at times, for me it was still too big to carry around all the time, this might be an issue for you too if you considered something like the X220 as recommended by others. On the transformer, I bought an app from the market called WritePad which is an app that changes your handwriting into text, this app was ok on the transformer however I would not have recommended it either as the recognition was similar to the Notes performance.

I have now installed WritePad on the Note and expected the same results however I can very confidently say that this app is awesome on the Note, I get about 95% accuracy when writing continuously on the Note and it is way better than the propriety software supplied with the note. You will get the best results from this app in landscape mode as there will be more writing area and the app can be set to learn your writing style over time.

If you do not need your handwriting to be converted to text, I would say it is ok to write on but you will need to practice a bit until you get accustomed to the pen to glass feel.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1jaxstate1:
Thanks for the info. I'm going to pull the trigger and get this phone. I'm only waiting now to see if it's coming to AT&T or not. I'm going to be with AT&T for a while anyway, might as well score the Note with my upgrade that I have available. Hopefully Samsung will give some information on this at CES. If they don't announce one, I'll get an unlocked Note.
[Nexus S General] cashel:
Right now I'm running aosp's oICSv43 on my Nexus S 4G and have been trying to flash the Speedy-3 kernel. I'll admit I'm not the most knowledgeable at this, but from what I've gathered, I need to boot into recovery, wipe the cache/dalvik cache, and install from zip, choosing the kernel. This does not work for me at all. The install will finish without error, but when I reboot I get stuck at the Google screen. Here's what I've tried:

Recoveries:

CWM V3

CWM V5

TWRP V2 (what I'm using now)

Kernels:

Matr1x

Speedy-3

Glados

I've even flashed the phone completely back to stock and tried everything again to no avail. I can root the phone and flash roms with no problem. The problem comes when I try to flash a kernel after.

Any suggestions?
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
Dont wipe cache. Only dalvik cache and then flash the kernel. ;)
[Nexus S General] cashel:
Thanks for the tip (and quick reply!), but it doesn't seem to work :(. Here are the steps I'm going through:

Booting into recovery

Full factory wipe

Flashing oICSv43

Rebooting into OS to setup phone/account (even skipped this step completely with no luck)

Boot back into recovery

Wipe dalvik cache

Install Speedy-3 kernel (or the either of the other two)

Reboot -> Gets stuck at Google logo w/ lit buttons
[Nexus S General] Harbb:
Just to be sure here - you are flashing those kernels which you downloaded from the Nexus S 4G Development forum right? And you are 100% sure it is a NS4G?

You're doing everything by the book so I don't know what else could be going on, don't take the questions the wrong way ;)
[Nexus S General] cashel:
No worries ;). 100% positive I have a NS4G, and I'm 100% positive I downloaded the kernels via the NS4G Dev. forum. I downloaded the kernels from the following three threads to be exact:

Can't think of much else to try besides an alternative ROM to test flashing kernels with. Hopefully someone else could give you a better answer though.
[Nexus S General] vhgomez36:
Easy fix. Flash it dirty....meaning don't wipe anything. Once it boots up, reboot to recovery then wipe dalik cache and boot up.
[Nexus S General] cashel:
I'm an idiot, wasn't using the latest version of aosp's oICS like I thought. Wiped everything, flashed to the latest version, wiped dalvik cache, flashed speedy-3 kernel and all is well :). Thanks guys.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chugger93:
While I agree you pay $500 for a working tablet with GPS... on the other flipside,who the F uses a tablet for GPS. Use your phone or buy a garmin god damnit. It's just not practical to use a tab.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
You do whatever you want. For me, and probably others, using a tablet for GPS makes sense. Here's some of the advantages:

1) It's got a bigger screen which is easier to see when you're driving.

2) A lot of the tablified GPS apps have a split screen mode which makes it easier to navigate at turns and on expressway on and off ramps.

3) Tablets have better GPS chips and antennas so they're more accurate (ironic, isn't it).

4) The battery on a tablet's a lot bigger than a phone so it'll last three times as long if it's not plugged in.

5) Using a tablet vs. a phone doesn't drain the phone's battery while you're on the road.

6) The phone's free to make and receive Bluetooth calls.

I posted the vids only to give people that even care about navigation something to benchmark against. I could care less what people choose to use for navigation or if they don't care about GPS at all. I'd assume the latter group would have no interest in this thread anyway (hint).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] e.mote:
Have you tried using a 7" tablet for car nav? How would legibility fare against a 10"? Seems to me that it would be easier to mount a 7" in a location more in front of the driver, as opposed to a center location where you have to turn your head and look.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wrick01:
oh man not again

we know. I bought it and kept it anyways.

BTW, have an Ipad 3g. Never used navigation on it without it being wired to the internet, 3g or tethered. Will be the exact same with tf201.

AND, now, my phone has google maps. this way, I can still watch old Billy Mays infomertials on youtube whilst navigation with the phone.

just don't buy it dude. put it on craiglist and get something else.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Now is the time to be looking for or finding a solution. Or seeing what Asus is going to do about it. this is beating a dead horse. already known GPS sux, even Asus admitted. So instead of dragging the issue out, which is widely known, lets focus more of solving the problem vs. just keep talking about how bad it is.

:p
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
To me, 7" is too close to the size of my phone. I mostly use the tablet for video, web, news and stuff like that while I'm traveling so I like the extra real estate. With 5.3", 7", 7.7", 8", 8.9", 10", and 11.6", it really comes down to personal preference.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
So without an example of "good," how would you know how bad "bad" is and what a working threshold is? Also, people trying to use Google Nav to do some of their own testing couldn't figure it out. At least they can now see how it works. And some people who haven't seen a tablet navigate might find watching one in action interesting.

Again, with no interest in GPS, I don't understand why anyone would keep extending a thread on it just to let the world know (once again) they don't care. It's important enough to some people that they returned their Prime's over it so it's not like no one cares.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
Hmm, that's a good demo of Co-Pilot for me. Although, I think I prefer the graphic of Sygic... But yea, pretty accurate demo of GPS navigation on a tablet.

Btw, I noticed some significant lag with your G-Tab....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] e.mote:
You've listed Moto/Samsung/HTC as tabs with good GPS. Not sure about the Jetstream, but both the GTabs and Xoom also have dual-band wifi. I don't think it's a coincidence that all these are also phone vendors. Their tablets tend to be better designed, and unsurprisingly, cost more.

Despite the shiny iPad-like shell, the TF201 is pretty similar in build quality and price to the TF101 and other "mainstream" tabs. Even without a metal shell, I wouldn't bank on GPS performance for any of the non-phone vendors' units.

Connectivity is something these tab vendors will need to improve. Most of the issues listed with the Prime (and to a lesser extent, with 1st-gen Droid tabs) are about I/O: HDMI, bluetooth, USB, wifi, GPS.

Some of the blame lies with the OS. Frankly, I'm looking forward to Win8 tabs if only for Windows' proven connectivity.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
Blame me, not the G-Tab. I have a ton of stuff syncing and widgets that dependent on outside data so booting takes a while. It's 3G so it's always connected so it's not an issue in daily use. It's actually worse in airplane more because everything looking for a signal does and has to fail before the UI’s normal again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jzen:
Thanks for making this thread, maybe it will shut up those that swear their GPS is working flawlessly lmao.

A lot of people use a tablet for GPS. Just because you don't see yourself using it doesn't mean everyone should also not use a tablet for GPS...

I don't use GPS at all for anything but I could see how many people would like to use it, especially for their jobs.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
Part of the issue is everyone seems to have a different definition of "working." The guy with the Prime on his dashboard swears his is "working." If people watch even short segments of the video it shows how important precision is for accuracy. And the difference between 90' and 15' hurling along an expressway at 70MPH looking for an exit is the difference between making it and not. ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
Umm, can you tell me how dual-band WIFI helps with GPS?

Jetstream and Xoom has better design over TF101?

Last I checked, all these vendors use similar GPS chip (btw, Asus is releasing padfone.. doesn't that qualify Asus and phone vendor?)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
I got the point of what he's saying. Asus has far fewer products dependent on far fewer radio combinations than a manufacturer that builds phones does. Motorola, Samsung, and HTC sell tens of millions of mobile devices equipped with multiple radios. It makes sense that their experience makes a difference in the finished product.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] e.mote:
>Jetstream and Xoom has better design over TF101?

I don't know about the Jetstream, but the Xoom is better constructed. It has none of the build-quality issues that occurred with the Acer/Asus/Toshiba tablets. You can verify by scanning the start of the respective tablets' general forums for complaint frequency.

The GTab has some issues, eg the "Newton rings". But in overall volume of complaints, it's a still only slight second to Xoom. The largest by far is the Prime, followed by Acer A500, then Asus TF101.

There are other models with worse issues, eg the Iconia A100 with terrible screen & battery life, but they aren't as popular, so complaints are fewer.

>Last I checked, all these vendors use similar GPS chip

Consumers tend to obsess over chips and specs, eg quad-core. For GPS, antenna and overall system design matters more, or even most. For other aspects, the proof is real-world app performance.

>(btw, Asus is releasing padfone.. doesn't that qualify Asus and phone vendor?)

Dell sold a phone as well. That doesn't make it a phone vendor.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
The Jetstream's built like a tank. And it's as big as one and weighs as much too. I wanted to like it and Sense on a tablet was cool, but it just wasn't comfortable to carry around or even hold.

That is the biggest complaint. Samsung changed the screen design in October so newer G-Tabs don't have the issue. The other biggest "discussion" is the love/hate relationship with TouchWiz.

^^^^^

This. Always.

And if the PadPhone fares as well as Dell's phone attempts sell your Asus stock. I love the concept of the PadPhone, just not from Asus.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] unxconformed:
I'm a bit confused by the videos and such. I appreciate you making them, but what are you comparing them to? Is it to the picture of someone's prime?

I don't really see how that is accurate at all. Was the photo shown the best possible accuracy anyone with a prime has ever had? There are so many variables here that are out of your control that is there is no way you could claim this as proof that the prime's GPS in extremely bad.

I'm not trying to argue that the prime's GPS is fine, I just don't see how this test proves anything. Show a prime next to you galaxy tab in these videos to show that there is in fact a difference if you want to claim such, otherwise it doesn't support your argument at all.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
Well, with two different nav programs, GPS Test, and multiple different driving scenarios, you've witnessed what a typical tablet using GPS is capable of without depending on Wi-Fi. Can the Prime pass any of those tests? Until it can, no one can say the Prime’s GPS is “working.” Besides, now that the bootloader’s unlocked I’m sure the devs are going to look at GPS. They now have a bogie. But having used tablets for GPS all over the world, anything less than 75% of the performance shown in the vids isn’t usable for driving navigation. The G-Tab even becomes a bear in thunderstorms.

P.S. - The best performance of a moving Prime is in the pic in my original post. And since it's a still vs. a video I'm guessing that's the best it could do, not the worst.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spidey01:
Welcome to one of the reasons I don't use What You See Is What You Hoped For editors like MS Word and Polaris, when I can get away with a better tool.

Polaris is said to corrupt files in some cases, and it's not well defined AFAIK about interfacing it with Google Docs. Maybe it is corrupting your file or perhaps it is just a bogon influx. When it comes to e.g. copying the file and editing it with different word processors (e.g. MS Word and Polaris), you have two options:

A. Use a different word processor. I'd suggest checking the thread that compares major office suites.

B. Use formatting that makes each word processor happy. In your case, perhaps less advanced stuff.

I would also try using a .doc file in an older MS Word format, instead of moderl OOXML/.docx.

I know the Infuse 4G has already been rooted, but I'll throw mine in the mix too. :) It doesn't require any memory corruption or fork bombing to achieve either.

A full writeup is available at: http://www.poppopret.org/?p=22

The directions can be followed on any OS (interacting with adb manually), but as of now a one-click root script is only available for Linux. It should be trivial to port to Windows and OS X, though. You can get it here: http://www.poppopret.org/dl/Infuse4G-root.tgz.

This exploit takes advantage of a flaw in the the init.rc script, where the system chmods 0777 a file we have control over. Switch out the file with a symlink to /data, drop a local.prop, and it's all over.

The exploit will automatically install the Superuser app and appropriate binaries for persistence. After running it will clean up after itself, and the phone will run normally.

Instructions

Download and extract the tarball (from here)

Activate USB debugging on your phone

Run ./root.sh as root (or run adb start-server as root beforehand)

Sit back and enjoy!

Hope this helps some people, and if you have any questions feel free to ask. If you find this exploit works against other versions or other devices, please let me know!
